Tribunal sets €149 million price for 0.4 % Delfin stake, paving the way for heirs to transfer shares
Executive summary: A tribunal fixed the price of the 0.4 % stake in Delfin held by Basilico at €149 million, noting that the same valuation could apply to the shares of Clemente, Paola, Luca and Leonardo Maria. The valuation establishes a benchmark for any transfer of the Delfin holding, clarifying the financial terms for the heirs and potentially affecting the control of the underlying Luxottica business.
Who is involved: The Delfin heirs (Basilico, Clemente, Paola, Luca, Leonardo Maria) and the tribunal that issued the valuation.
Likely next: The heirs may now proceed to sell or transfer their stakes, which could trigger further ownership changes or prompt additional valuations.
The court’s valuation of the small Delfin holding provides a concrete market reference for the family’s shares. This figure may influence any future sale by the heirs and could affect the broader ownership structure of the Luxottica‑linked holding. No broader market reaction has been reported yet.
